In May 2011, an examination of 48,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms in red wolves, eastern wolves, gray wolves, and dogs indicated that the red and eastern wolves were hybrid species, with the red wolf being 76% coyote and 20% gray wolf, and the eastern wolf being 58% gray wolf and 42% coyote, finding no evidence of being distinct species in ...
In recent history, the taxonomic status of the red wolf has been widely debated. Mech (1970) suggested that red wolves may be fertile hybrid offspring from gray wolf (Canis lupus) and coyote (C. latrans) interbreeding. Wayne and Jenks (1991) and Roy et al. (1994b, 1996) supported this suggestion with genetic analysis.
An eastern coyote in the snow near the West Virginia–Virginia state line. The eastern coyote is a wild North American canine hybrid with both coyote and wolf parentage. The hybridization likely first occurred in the Great Lakes region, as western coyotes moved east.
It’s a coyote-wolf hybrid? The answer is “highly unlikely,” wildlife experts say after Burr Ridge police warned residents of possible “coywolf” sightings last week in the southwest suburb.

The Yellowstone Wolf Project started in 1995 and since it's become one of the most detailed studies of wolves the world. They also focus on studying the day-to-day life and social interactions of ...
The proposed timing of the wolf/coyote divergence conflicts with the finding of a coyote-like specimen in strata dated to 1 million years before present. [41] In 2017 a group of canid researchers challenged the 2016 whole-genome DNA study's finding that the red wolf and the eastern wolf were the result of recent coyote–gray wolf hybridization.
The latest wildlife mystery in Nevada has been solved. DNA testing confirmed the results with 99.9% certainty, the Nevada Department of Wildlife announced this week. The sighting in northeast ...
